Why Didn't Voldemort Pick RANDOM Tiny Objects for Horcruxes? - Harry Potter Theory

A grain of sand on a lost beach. A tiny pebble lying unnoticed on the ocean floor. A fallen acorn buried under years of autumn leaves. A faded seashell washed ashore on an uninhabited island. These are just a few examples of the kinds of objects that I would use if I was in the position to create my own Horcruxes…And I’m sure the same can be said for a lot of you. Why? Well.. They’re small, hard-to-locate, and perhaps most important of all: meaningless. But somehow, Voldemort missed the memo here, and instead chose objects that were eventually linked back to him. So..The obvious questions here are…WHY was Voldemort so particular in his selection process for potential Horcruxes? And why didn’t he choose things that would be virtually impossible to find? After all, had he done what seems so obvious, to pick meaningless inanimate objects, he may still be ruling over the Wizarding World. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
